Mum's adorable $5 DIY porcupine costume for her son goes viral

With Halloween just around the corner, some parents might be thinking of ideas for costumes for their kids. One mum has created a genius (and adorable) costume that only cost her $5 to make!

"Guys, I’ve been so excited to share with you all of our hard work this year! To give you the gist, this is the second year I’ve dressed up the boys throughout the month!" the woman wrote on her Instagram page.

"Typically each costume is made for less than $5 and is usually made of stuff you can find around the house! So, with a lot of help from my hot glue gun, an old brown pillow case and a onesie I thrifted I present to you, Toby the perfect porcupine!"

The finished product is absolutely adorable and her followers were quick to tell her so!

"So cute! Looking forward to more of this cuteness." one wrote.

"I don’t think I have the patience to glue that many pieces of paper!" some else joked.

We can't wait to see what other creative and cheap costumes she comes up with this month!
